 1    OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES, UPGRADES, AND TOOLS       > 

All of the following items are available directly from BTE.

Main Wheel Package - 

This includes two 7" Sullivan wheels, two hardened steel 

5/16"  axle  bolts,  and  various  mounting  hardware  for  the  wheels  and  landing 
gear.  I know, nobody likes to use bolts for axles, but these ones have a smooth 
shoulder where the wheel rides.  In addition, if you order this package, I will drill 
your aluminum landing gear for the six mounting bolts that are included with this 
package.  Normally, the gear is supplied undrilled.           

BTE Price. . . . . $69.95

Composite Tailwheel Assembly -  

The  Graph  Tech  #304  Tailwheel  Assembly  features  a  molded  carbon  fiber 

leafspring and comes fully assembled with a 1-1/2” Du-Bro Tailwheel.  The unit only weighs 2.2 ounces, but is rated 
for models up to 40 pounds.  

BTE Price. . . . . $49.95            

Optional SWB Wire Tensioners  

BTE Price. . . . . $17.95

Tailwheel Package - 

This less-expensive alternative includes a Sig Extra-Large Leafspring Tailwheel Assembly, a 

Du-Bro 1-3/4" Tailwheel, a wheel collar and mounting hardware, just like I used on my prototype.  So far it's held up 
fine and seems to be up to the task.  These items together retail $26.14.      

                            

BTE Price. . . . . $22.95

STOL Wingtips, Rough Cut - 

Love those wingtips but don’t want to spend about a day carving and sanding? I can 

rough cut the tips for you.  They will still need a final sanding once you attach them to your wing, but they'll be pretty 
close.  It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it.                                                                       

BTE Price. . . . $124.95

Tail Brace Wire Kit - 

I've decided that tail brace wires are required for this model.  Actually, it's a tough call.  It might 

be okay without them, but I didn't want to find out the hard way that I was wrong.  I added wires to mine which have 
held up well, but there are sturdier and more expensive alternatives out there.  This tail brace wire kit includes all the 
nylon-coated steel cable, steel attach straps, crimps, and hardware you need.                         

BTE Price. . . . . . $9.95

4-40 Pull-Pull Cable Kit - 

Recommended  for  rudder  and  tailwheel.   Includes  two  complete  Du-Bro  4-40  Pull-Pull 

systems, a Sig tiller bar, and nylon guide tubes.                                                                         

BTE Price. . . . . $19.95

Sullivan Super Horn Set - 

This package contains all the heavy-duty control horns you will need; the same horns as 

used on the BTE prototype and shown throughout this book.  Includes six Super Horns (for ailerons, flaps, and split 
elevators), one Double Super Horn (for the rudder), and Sullivan 4-40 Gold-N-Clevises.          

BTE Price. . . . . $34.95

Carbon Fiber Pushrod Kit - 

From Abell RC, the kit provides two 3/16" x 36" carbon fiber tubes and 16 machined 

steel rod ends with 4-40 threads. That's plenty of material for your SFK aileron, elevator, and flap linkages with some 
left over for your next project.                                                                                                      

BTE Price. . . . . $44.95

Sig XX-Brand Hinges - 

I used 29 of these on my prototype.  Price includes 30 hinges.           

BTE Price. . . . . $17.95

Fourmost Medium Window Flange Material - 

This is a special package made specifically for the Super Flyin' King. 

Includes 16 feet of material, which is plenty for the windows with a couple of feet 
leftover - you know, just in case!  It takes some patience to make the corners fit 
nice and tight, but it sure looks professional.                    

BTE Price. . . . . $15.00

Handibond  Package  –  

High-quality  cyanoacrylate  adhesive  package,  tailored 

specifically for the SFK.   Includes ten bottles of CA (3 thin, 4 medium, 3 thick), 
accelerator spray, accelerator refill, and glue tips.
